Confirmed from Lindsay Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Grassy park with a playground, a baseball/softball diamond & views of the Mississippi River.
What runners say about Lindsay Park
“If you are from the quad cities then you want to visit this park for a great view and relaxing moment to reflect on our stretch of the world famous mississippi river.”
“It’s got a nice baseball field, basketball court, lots of green space, shady spots to enjoy views of the river and have a picnic, and a decent playground.”
Lindsay Park is a beautiful place to sit by the Mississippi River and relax anytime from Sunrise to Sunset. Bike, walk, or ride on the recreational path or ride on the Channel Cat Water Taxi. Play at the park. Gather friends for a pick-up game of basketball. Lindsay park has it all.
Lots of shade at this park on a breezy hill. The playground is small but was perfect for the few kids that were there. Bonus, you can run to see trains coming through next to the park, and there is an old fire station with a vintage truck inside.
Quaint little park just off the village with a good view of the river. Great to take kids to and then walk down to Here's the Scoop for some ice cream.
Shade on edge of field to watch your fav people play ball. Multiple benches and tables. Bathroom has np soap but good enough
